There’s something indefinably intoxicating about the ancient Orient. The enduring charm of B-grade Hong Kong action cinema is but a small part of this allure, with the recent success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero proving what can happen when Hollywood levels of cash are applied to that medium. Recently, a relatively unknown development team dubbed PixelGames decided to see what would happen if they basted the myths of ancient China onto the Diablo gameplay model and garnished the entire affair with classic arcade action. The end result of this experimentation is Blade & Sword, a unique take on a familiar format.
